Como Lake in Metro Vancouver Regional District: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Como Lake is one of the Metro Vancouver Regional District waters in British Columbia. The land about it is open plain. About 5 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. By elevation it sits in the lower part of our British Columbia listings. For a base, Harbour Chines sits 0.9 km out. After that come Austin Heights at 1.3 km and Central Coquitlam at 1.4 km. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Como Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Records held for Metro Vancouver Regional District cover white sturgeon, Coho salmon, sockeye salmon, rainbow trout and Chum salmon. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. The shape of Como Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 18°C in August and bottom out at 3°C in January. Fishing runs all year, with summer the awkward season. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. The season on Como Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Mapping shows parking within 230 m. A platform or pier sits within 80 m. Facilities include toilets around 270 m from here. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Munday Lake sits 2.2 km off and takes the overflow. Confirm before you fish Como Lake.
